PQ ATT winners list
THE ASSOCIATION OF TAXATION TECHNICIANS Awards The Association of Taxation Technicians, the oldest and largest body concerned solely with tax compliance, has announced the results of its examination taken by 1,018 candidates in November. The Association reports that a high standard of performance was achieved by many candidates. Its President, Michael Steed, commenting upon the results, said: “It gives me great pleasure to congratulate the successful candidates from the November sitting of our exams. “In total candidates sat 1,478 papers and 1,077 passes were achieved with 78 distinctions awarded for exceptional performance.” As a result 79 candidates have now completed the exam requirements for membership and a further 173 candidates have completed the exam requirements for membership by passing the two e-assessments since the last pass list was issued in July 2015.
The ATT’s modular system allows candidates to study at their own pace, whether they are working towards full membership by sitting the two compulsory and one optional paper together with its two e-assessments or simply wishing to obtain one or more Certificates of Competency in their specialist area.
